2. Quotes and Orders
A Quote outlines the estimated cost of your sauna, including delivery and installation.
A binding contract is formed once the Quote is approved in writing or a deposit is paid.
Any changes to design, specifications, or materials requested after approval may result in adjustments to the final price and/or delivery timeline
We recommend reviewing all details before confirming your order.
3. Deposits and Payments
A 50% deposit is payable upon approval of the quote to secure your sauna in our workshop schedule and planning work.
A 50% final payment on the day of installation unless alternative payment terms have been agreed in writing by both parties.
All prices include GST unless stated otherwise.
Ownership of all goods remains with Southern Cross Saunas until full payment is received.
4. Delivery and Installation
We will confirm an estimated delivery and installation date once full payment has cleared.
